TESTIMONIALS

What they’re saying about the Service Alternatives Training Institute

“The most impact I got from the workshop was just a reminder about my own stress levels and self-awareness as well as awareness of others’ needs and safety. Active listening skills and body language and knowing my boundaries as well as establishing trust with my clients by maintaining their dignity at all times.”

T. Hayes, PSA, Volunteers of America

“This is the first training of trainers I have taken that allowed me the opportunity to practice teach in the safety of a small group with direct and individual feedback from the trainer. Because of that, I feel confident in my ability to train others. Thanks so much!”

Abby Bowers, Early Childhood and WaKIDS Coordinator, ESD 113
